Hi all,

I borrowed a Yashica-12 camera today, and tried to fiddle with the aperture and shutter wheels between the lenses. The aperture wheel is fine, but the shutter wheel seems to be stuck in "B" mode. I simply can't turn it either way.

Would this indicate a broken shutter, by experience?

The camera looks in good shape, no scratches on body or leather case.

(There is no film in the camera. As mentioned, I only got the camera today, and want to find out whether it's intact before I start buying 120 film).

Thanks!
